...there anything you're not an expert on? Sports. I don't hate sports, I just have zero interest in them. I am amused by cricket because it seems to take longer than baseball and I like that. It seems like a sport I could have made up it - it takes several days to play and everyone wears sweaters. I can't confess to knowing what's going on at all. All I can ask from society is that it please stop telling me why I should like sports. People always try to explain that sports are about a sort...
...This will spur people to do more and encourage billions around the world to mobilize themselves and show acts of heroism in the fight against the common enemy: the destruction of the environment. In my homeland, the Philippines, Odette Alcantara has been actively involved in the Zero Basura Olympics (basura is Spanish and Filipino for garbage), recycling, tree-planting, clearing waterways, rivers, lakes and seas, plus teach-ins, seminars and speeches to tell people the importance of protecting the environment, starting immediately in their own homes. For this reason we believe that Ms. Alcantara's accomplishments and her ongoing work...
...efforts behind Power Vote because the initiative alerts students not only to green issues, but also to the power of voting and the importance of taking collective action.

...September 11, 2001, even as the disintegration of flaming towers forced terrified New Yorkers to flee the disaster site, thousands of medical volunteers began streaming in from the other direction. Driven by impulse and raw instinct, some already adorned in scrubs and stethoscopes, the volunteers converged on Ground Zero. But, for the most part, their inspiration was met with irony. Not only were tower survivors few in number, but the unfamiliarity of the volunteers to local emergency leaders compounded confusion for all. While some of these heroic volunteers ultimately tended to the injured, most were turned away. Eventually...
...Rutgers research reflects a much-needed, if slow, renewal of scientific interest in antibiotics development. The last two decades of the 20th century saw nearly zero progress, and in those years several disease-causing bacteria evolved resistance to commonly used drugs. Researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that more than 40% of staph infections in the U.S. in 2006 were MRSA - a bug that now kills more Americans a year than AIDS. Today, the first line of treatment against MRSA is vancomycin, a formidable antibiotic that has been around since the 1950s and is otherwise typically...
